After downloading the Fantamorph program vatechguy has been playing with, I did a test morph of myself for fun. This program is addictive!
Other people might just morph the outline of the two figures, but I am a detail-oriented kind of gal. Check out the morphing swimsuit, smile-to-look-of-steely-determination and hairstyle. :jester:
Such a goober I am. :whistle:

You will all be relieved to learn that a very long, flat package in plain, unmarked cardboard with no signs of the words “Door Gym” on the exterior was waiting for me at my desk when I arrived at work. Beachbody and Fed Ex finally came through with my Jungle Jam. I’m tempted to open it now to check that it is indeed a Jungle Jam, but I will control myself and wait until I can take it home at lunch. It took a while, but I’m happy to report that the folks at Beachbody do care about keeping their customers happy. I did a quick rate lookup at Fed Ex and discovered that shipping an 11 lb package via Overnight Priority from Torrance, CA to Orlando, FL costs a whopping $65. :eekb:
I paid a bit under $54 for the Jungle Jam order including shipping. For this amount I received one Door Gym (retails for $35-$50 online), one Jungle Jam ($36-$45 depending on whether you get in on the periodic 20% off sales), one regular shipment ($14.95), one overnight priority shipment ($65), and at least 2-3 hours of manpower hours at California rates between the customer service reps I nagged every two days and the warehouse staff who had to ship my order(s) out on three separate occasions.
All in all, it would have been much cheaper for them to have gotten my order right in the first place.
